School of Civil Engineering

Our research activity is led by two interdisciplinary Institutes:

Institute for Resilient Infrastructure (iRI)
The scope of the iRI is interdisciplinary and covers the interactions between and impact of disciplines from the Engineering, Environmental, Economic, Community / Societal and Political domains on the whole life performance of infrastructure assets including Structures, Materials and Geotechnics and Engineering Management.

Pathogen Control Engineering Institute (PaCE)
We undertake research in all aspects of the built environment in which the presence of pathogens influences design. From water treatment, solid waste to airborne transmission of disease. Academics from a broad range of engineering disciplines as well as bio-chemists and microbiologists are all working together to find effective solutions relating to pathogen control. Specific research areas include: Aerobiology and Infection Control; Contaminated Land and Ground water; Solid Waste Management; Water and Wastewater Engineering; Water Supply and sanitation in developing countries.
